possible bug in IM 6.4.0-10 converting PDF

[fmw42]

I am not too familiar with converting PDF files in IM. I can convert from another image format to PDF but not the other way.

convert logo: logo.png
convert logo.png logo.pdf
convert logo.pdf logo2.png
sh: line 1: gsc: command not found
convert: Postscript delegate failed `logo.pdf': No such file or directory.
convert: missing an image filename `logo2.png'.


I am running Mac OSX Tiger PPC and IM 6.4.0-10 Q16-hdri.

I successfully installed Ghostscript (ghostscript-8.61.tar.gz) many IM releases ago and never noticed any problems.

convert -list configure shows freetype and gs installed:

DELEGATES bzlib fontconfig freetype gs jpeg jp2 lcms lqr openexr png tiff x11 xml zlib


What am I missing or not understanding about conversion from PDF to another format? Is this a bug?

Thanks

Fred

Something screwy is going on. The command utility ImageMagick requires is 'gs' not 'gsc'. Why is it trying to execute gsc on your system? Add -verbose and post the output here.

convert -verbose logo.pdf logo2.png
"gsc" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 "-sDEVICE=pnmraw" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r72x72" "-sOutputFile=/var/tmp/magick-gDiWbdS9" "-f/var/tmp/magick-UCLCjPHK" "-f/var/tmp/magick-IddfwEPL"
sh: line 1: gsc: command not found
convert: Postscript delegate failed `logo.pdf': No such file or directory.
convert: missing an image filename `logo2.png'.


Here it is with -debug all:

Edit delegates.xml and change gsc to gs. We're clueless how gsc was substituted when gs is expected.

[fmw42]

That worked. It was gsc in about 10 places all related to PS, PDF, EPS etc.

After the edit, the command worked fine:

convert logo.pdf logo2.png


Thanks.
